Proposed changes to PIP and other benefits

In case anyone would like to read the Government's Green Paper with full details of the proposed changes (rather than relying only on media reports), it can be found here:

  • Just listened to the statment from the Government, and as far as I can work out you need to score 4 points in Daily Living to qualify for PIP from 2028, but it is currently set at 8 points minimum?

    But Universal Credit is to be changed for LCW part.

    Am I correct in thinking this?

  • If I haven't misunderstood, it wouldn't matter if (for example) you scored 12 points across 6 categories, if at least one of those wasn't a 4 on its own. Near impossible for the autistic applicants in many cases.
